Sir Sadiq Khan has been informally advising the Democrats’ left-wing New York mayoral candidate on how to win his election.
Zohran Mamdani, 33, shocked America’s political establishment last month by defeating the former governor Andrew Cuomo in the race to secure his party’s nomination.
Sources say Mamdani and Khan have since exchanged texts and spoken over the phone. Khan’s advisers have also been in contact with Mamdani’s campaign team.
The sources close to Khan add that Mamdani needs to move to the centre to widen his appeal, particularly as Cuomo and the incumbent mayor, Eric Adams, are running as independents in the general election on November 4.
Khan’s involvement has the potential to reopen old wounds, after Trump accused the Labour Party of interfering in the presidential election.
Trump’s campaign team filed a legal complaint against the party last year, after a Labour official revealed on social media that 100 current and former staff were going to the US to campaign for Kamala Harris.
*Move to the center after the primary?!* Pay this veteran political consultant his $millions!
Not exactly geopolitics innit?
Endorse Islamic terrorism as a part and parcel for the city?
It’s shocking that people don’t like unrepentant sex pests? Or someone that sees nothing wrong with having their CNN anchor brother shill for you on tv while giving you tomorrow’s news on the sly? Really?
I don’t think Khan is an example to be emulated – the way London is policed currently is pretty much the exact fear many Jews in New York have about Mamdani.
If you burn a Quran and are brutally assaulted – you’ll be arrested and charged.
If you drive through a Jewish neighborhood with a megaphone shouting “rape their daughters”, all charges will be dropped.
If you hold a protest the police recognize is unsafe and hostile to Jews, that’s fine. If you’re a Jew and want to cross the street through the protest with your yarmulke – the police wont threaten to arrest them – they’ll threaten to arrest you.
Literally, the Met police under Khan threatened to arrest a Jew for wanting to cross the street during a protest because he was “being openly Jewish”.
Im definitely not saying that the same will happen in NYC just because Mamdani is a Muslim, but his willingness to defend “globalize the intifada” and his use of “Zionist” as an insult leads me to believe it’s likely. He’s smart enough to know exactly what “globalize the intifada” means.
It would be like defending “globalize mein Kampf” by saying “it just means my struggle in German”. That’s true, but it’s obviously not what it means in the context.
